A piece of Bristol board with a pathway traced on
it - the pathway needs to be a series of straight lines connected together
(no curves). A "start" line and a "finish" line need
to be clearly marked on the path.

A quantity of small mirrors - one for each
"corner" on the traced path

Modeling clay or mirror stands

A laser pointer (only one needed; stays in the
leaders' possession)

Optional: pencil, eraser, ruler and protractor

The Challenge:

Place the mirrors along the pathway so that when the
laser pointer is turned on at the "start" point, the laser light
bounces from one mirror to another and ends up at the "finish" line.
To make this more challenging, do not let the girls use the laser pointer at all
when they are trying to orient their mirrors. Whenever they feel they are ready
to test their maze, turn on the laser light and see where it lands. The first
group to figure out the correct placement of the mirrors to complete the
challenge wins.
